i have a stock 92 240sx and has about 250,000 kms on it. There’s a ticking sound whenever the car’s ideling. The sound goes away when i step on the gas or when the car is moving. Correct me if i’m wrong but i think it’s the chain guides. How much is it to remove the guides and can someone reccommand to a good place to do it. any help is apprieciated ---

Or Auto Illusions 416-636-3738 . His name is Bruno. They guy charges $50 per hour for labour and he specializes in performance cars, mostly rice boxes Honda’s but so far my 240 got a nice treat from him. ---
